AN INvALID'S HOME.
incorporation Of am Institution
Long Needed.

Long Needed
A hospital and home for invalids
open to all sorts and conditions ol
people, has long been talked of in Los
Angeles. There is apparently but
one opinion as to the need of such an
institution.
Over and above the rapid increase
of population, there is the additional
reason. that the attractions of the eli.
mate and the beauty of this land will
bring large numbers of health-seek,
ers. To many of these the boarding.
houses and hotels do not meet theii
demands. A quiet, homelike retreat
where they can be provided with all
things fitted their condition is what is
wanted.
A corporation has been formed for
the accomplishment of this purpose.
The directors of the corporation are
as follows: Mrs. James A. Anderson,
Mrs. c. S. Fox, Mrs. A. N. Perry,
Mrs. Frank RAIDER, Mrs. Burdette
Chandler, Mrs. w. H. Workman, Mrs.
III. X. Hellman, Mrs. Spence, MIR. J. f.
Lowell and the Rev. Elias Birdsal!.
The hospital has received a gift OF
lots from St. Paul's church. 1t is the
purpose to secure a proper site and
erect suitable buildings as soon as pos
sible. In the meantime the organiza-
tion will take charge of the private
hospital managed by Sister Mary dur
ing the last two years, and employ
her as the superintendent, SO that the
new enterprise will have the advan-
tage of her proved capacity in carry
ing on the work.
The aims and purposes OF the hos
pital being broad and liberal as possi-
BILE, the authorities confidently look
for general sympathy and assistance
in carving the enterprise to success
full issue. The bylaws declare the
purpose to minister to the bodies
and souls of humanity without regard
to race. creed or condition.

The Clearing House.

Business at the Clearing House last
week was lighter than was expected,
but it was acknowledged by everyone
that there was much quieter feeling
than had been observable in the city
for some time. 1t was not to have
been expected that business would
be on the increase every week in the
year, for there has in every city been
a lall or resting period where all
get ready for a larger business to come.

1t is the custom in the Tyroi for a man,
when he is engaged to be married, to
wear a bouquet in his hat. The damsel
gives him, every day or two, a fresh
bouquet, picked from the flower pots in
her window. Should she prove tickle,
and jilt the swain, the other young men
of the village assemble under her window
and throw down the flower pots.
A stranger wonders, IN seeing 80 many
men with bouquets stuck in their hats,
why they do not marry, especially as not
a few of them are what we call ''old
bachelors The explanation is that the
village commune will not allow any per-
son to marry, unless he can show that he
has laid by a sum of money sufficient to
support n family.
Sometimes a dozen or more of engaged
young men and women, despairing OF
eve getting money enough to secure the
commune's permission, go on a pilgrim.

When there they are married, but on
their return to the native village they are

TIE cattle men of the country seem to
have experienced a recovery Of confidence
and are anticipating a period of generous
profits, says the Omaha Bee. All ac-
counts agree in saying that the supply Of
cattle has been very materially diminished,
and although the price is still low it would
seem to be inevitable hat an advance
must take place within Il short time, and
that beef may go to higher figures next
year than it has brought in a
number OF years. The consumers
of the country have had little if
any benefit from the low prices at
which cattle have ranged for the past
year or two. The packing rings at Chi
a and Kansas City have reaped all
the advantage. When the advance comes,
however, it is not at all likely that the
will be in ignorance OF it.
The indications are that it will not be a
great while before the butcher will de-
mand a cent or two more a pound for his

FIRST COMPTROLLER DURHAM is one
OF the most watchful dogs of the treasury.
No money can be drawn therefrom with
out his signature, and all acquisitions are
carefully examined before receiving his
approval. Sometimes the comptroller,
in his zeal for the public welfare, makes
errors, and as he is a stubborn man as
well as a faithful officer, these errors &C.
casionally excite angry controversies.
Usually the comptroller in these contro.
veIsies affecting drafts upon the treasury
comes out victorious. He may not always
have the best of the argument, but man
ting as far as the cash room of the treas
ury. and in this manner gains a substan-
tial victory. The late Prof. Baird was
one of the firm men who got the better
of the first comptroller. 1t is said
that on one occasion the late
Prof. Baird laid before the president two
curt, not to say insulting letters. which he
had received from the comptroller in re-
gard to some accounts of expenditure.
The president sent for Judge Durham
and suggested that the accounts should be
settled. The latter replied that 1T could
not be done whereupon Nh. Cleveland
replied: We'll. | am very sorry. Prof.
Baird has assured me that he can make
no further explanation, and that he can
not undertake to administer the Office
longer if he is to be unduly hampered in
regard to the expenditures. Now, l don't
know where l can find a man to fill Prof
Baird's place if he were to resign, but |
suppose | co uld find a man to fill the
office OF first comptroller of the treas
urer." As the ccounts held up were
Immediately settled, 1t is believed Judge
Durham concurred with the observation
OF the president as to the number Of men
available to fill the office of first comp
t%roller.

The Provisions Of His VIII Prevent the
Building Of . Marble Vault.
The board of regents of the Ladies'
Mt. Vernon Association began their an
nual meeting at Mt. Vernon yesterday.
In the afternoon the address of the re-
gent, Mrs. Lily L. McAllister Laughton,
and the reports Of the various officers
and Superintendent Dodge were made.
The ladies inspected the mansion and
grounds and expressed pleasure at their
excellent condition. The sessions will
last several days, and meanwhile the Ia
dies make their home at the old mansion.
Mrs. Laughton, the regent, said yester-
day, in relation to the suggestion that a
marble vault be constructed to take the
place Of the old tomb in which the body
Of Washington rests, that General Wash-
ington had directed in his will that he
should be entombed in q brick vault,
which direction would prevent them from
changing the character Of the structure.
Some years ago the Masonic fraternity
made an offer to erect handsome and
costly structure in place of the brick
vault, but the clause in the will prevented
a compliance with this proffer.-W Wash-
Maton Special to Boston Herald.
